Vermont inn and restaurant closing

The Hawk Inn and Mountain Resort in Vermont is shutting down its 50-room inn and award-winning restaurant.

The Plymouth vacation destination says the Hawk Inn and The River Tavern restaurant will close as of Thursday. But the business will continue renting its mountainside villas and operating its pool and spa, cross-county ski facilities and other amenities on its 1,200 acres.

Hawk Mountain Vice President Jim Nielsen tells the Rutland Herald the combination of a tough economy, Tropical Storm Irene and the poor circumstances last winter have created difficult financial circumstances.

He said the resort will focus on summer weddings and fall foliage tours.
